Has anyone used a Dorman drive shaft on their XC wagon? V70-XC70 1999

Bill,

Thank you for your reply. For the time being I am going to the drive shaft removed and drive the car without it. I have changed my Volvo from AWD to FWD. I have been told by my mechanic it will provide me with better gas mileage and acceleration. I may still one day reinstall the driveshaft, but he told me it was a bad design by Volvo. The driveshaft will basically fail every 100,000 miles (which was my experience). However, thanks to your reply, I won't be facing a near $1,000 expense if I pursue that option.

Hugh
